[1] General information

[1.1] What is Info Adriatic?
Info Adriatic is a tourist site intended for the presentation of 30 destinations of the Sibenik-Knin County, associated accommodation capacities and other related products and services.

[1.2] Is Info Adriatic a tourist agency?
No. You try to take Info Adriatic as an online postcard of the Sibenik-Knin County. Or as a catalogue of accommodation, with whose help a visitor contacts directly with the propriety owner, without our intercession and without our provisions.

[1.3] Who stands behind Info Adriatic?
Info Adriatic is published by the company Sprait d.o.o. from Sibenik. We write more information about it in the column About Us.

[1.4] Whom is Info Adriatic intended for?

[1.5] What makes Info Adriatic different from other similar sites?
First of all, Info Adriatic is specialised in the Sibenik-Knin County (which others are not). It gathers and produces the contents mostly in its own arrangement, securing the objectivity and originality of published data. It pays special attention to the photo and text quality. It is completely published on five languages. It provides a direct contact between a guest and property owner, without any agency provisions.

[1.6] How often is Info Adriatic visited?
During the last year, Info Adriatic was visited by 500.000 unique visitors (according to Webalizer 2.01).

During the last year, the visitors' countries were represented in following order (according to Webalizer 2.01): Croatia, Unknown, .net, Italy, .com, Austria, Germany, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Switzerland, the Netherlands...

[1.8] Can I get an insight into the attendance rate?
Of course. The attendance rate of Info Adriatic is monitored by StatCounter. You can see the statistics here.

[1.9] What kind of contents does Info Adriatic exactly offers?
Info Adriatic describes 30 destinations of the Sibenik-Knin County. It presents the accommodation capacities through photos and words (hotels, villas, apartments) and publishes the contact data of their owners. Further more, Info Adriatic writes the interesting facts related to this part of the Adriatic and through numerous links directs You to all useful tourist contents.

[2] From tourist's perspective

[2.1] Can you recommend any accommodation?
No. We relate to all accommodation capacities the same way. Your mission is to search and choose the accommodation You find the most suitable.

[2.2] Where is the list of the accommodation capacities?
At the end of each destination, in the column "Accommodation" (unless there are no registered capacities for this destination).

[2.3] Can it be trusted to published photos and texts?
Yes. That is exactly why Info Adriatic is different from the other sites of this kind, even from tourist agencies. Actually, we gather materials (photos and texts) in our own arrangement. We visit each building and we talk to the responsible people on the spot. However, Info Adriatic cannot take the responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the data, which is fully discussed in the column Copyright.

[2.4] How will I find out the extra information about the particular accommodation?
While talking directly with the owner that is the accommodation manager. His/Her data are published in the column Contact particular accommodation.

[2.5] I don't understand English very well. Are the pages translated to some other language?
Yes. Info Adriatic is published on English, Croatian, Italian, German and Czech language. The language menu, with appertaining flag, is placed in the upper right corner of the pages.

[2.6] How will I reserve accommodation?
You will make a direct contact with the owner or accommodation manager. In Your first approach we suggest You say where You are from, how many of You there are, what age You are, for which term or terms You are interested in and possible other wishes or conditions. If You wish to reserve the accommodation, the majority of owners will ask You certain amount (caution money) to be paid in advance, so that they could save the accommodation for You.

[2.7] To whom and when will I pay the accommodation?
You pay directly to the accommodation renter. It is most probable that the renter will ask You to pay certain amount (caution money) in advance, so that he/she could save the accommodation for You. In that case, they will get You the data of their own bank account. You will pay the main part of the payment when You arrive. However, these are all just lines of direction. You have to come to terms with the particular owner regarding the amount and the way of payment.

[2.8] Does a renter speak foreign languages?
The languages on which the renter can come to understanding are given in the column Contact the particular accommodation. If You approach them by phone and cannot come to understanding, try other telephone numbers of the same renter (if there are any). Maybe some other reliable person answers Your call and with whom You could easier come to understanding with. Or approach them by e-mail (if renter has it).

[2.9] Where is the e-mail for contact with renter?
Aiming at the keeping down Spam mails, e-mail is not presented publicly. If You want to make a contact with a renter, through e-mail, You need to fill in a form that is placed at the end of the accommodation's presentation. You can also get a form with a click on the symbol of an envelope that is placed in the column Contact particular renter. After filling the form and checking the correctness of the data filled in, with a click on the key "Send", the content of this form will be sent to e-mail of a renter. A renter, who doesn't have e-mail, neither has the mentioned symbol, nor a form. And that of course doesn't lessen the value of his/her accommodation, because there are renters who don't have an e-mail address, but offer a very quality and interesting accommodation.

[2.10] I have sent e-mail. Why doesn't he/she answer me?
Whether a renter will answer Your mail and when, we cannot know. However, from the past experience we know that many renters don't open their e-mails every day. Try contacting them by phone or finding some other (more prompt) renter. Furthermore, take care of Your antispam filter (if You actually use any), because if the strict criteria is used, there is a possibility to get the answer of a renter marked as [SPAM]. (More: 5.8).

[2.11] What is residence tax and how much is it?
The residence tax (sojourn tax) is revenue of Tourist Boards. It has to be paid either by native or foreign citizens on each realized overnight. The amount of residence tax depends on tourist place and term of stay. For making things clearer, adults pay around 1€ per day, people from 12 to 18 0.5€, while children up to 12 years old are free of charging tax residence.

[2.12] In the list of accommodation descriptions there is "as agreed" written on certain places. What does it mean?
That means that You will have to make extra arrangements about the mentioned thing with the owner. For example if it says: washing machine (as agreed) that can mean that the owner would gladly offer You the service of washing laundry.

[2.13] What does it mean "prices approximate" or "prices starting"?
Some renters have several different prices inside a month. In some cases, due to limited space of price list, we were forced to write average (approximated) or starting prices. In any case (even when it doesn't have the mentioned mark), You have to check the prices before making the reservation.

[2.15] What does the mark 2/3+1 mean?
It is usual marking of rooms/beds. The mark 2/3+1 indicates an apartment that has two triple-bedded rooms and extra bed (mostly in the living room/dining room). If for some hotel there are marks 1/2 and 1/3 that means these rooms are double-bedded and triple-bedded. These marks have to be considered in the context of the accommodation description (text underneath the photos). However, You have to receive the final confirmation regarding the capacity and number of beds one more time from a particular renter.

[2.16] How will I find the accommodation that approves house pets?
Use the column Search Box.

[2.17] Can I look for the accommodation according to the price I am able to pay?
No. You have to look at the price list of every accommodation that You like.

[2.18] I used to communicate with a certain renter. I don't find him anymore. Where is he?
We suppose You are looking for him under the exact destination and that You haven't made the mistake. In that case, the renter concerned stopped advertising on our site or he hasn't paid and is automatically excluded. Check it out; maybe there has just been a change in the renters' order.

[2.19] In certain destinations there is no accommodation. How's that?
In debatable destinations actually there is accommodation, but they don't advertise themselves on our site.

Try to take into account a declension, plural and other word formation. It does make a difference if You write down "croatia" or "croatian".

[3.7] Some notions are international, so I get results on several languages. How can I separate only one language?

But also for those who apart from the mentioned have something else to offer (e.g. apart from the accommodation they have a restaurant, motor-camp or practise rural tourism). If You have something of the mentioned, we kindly recommend this type of advertisement, regardless of You having the Web site or not.Sponsored link is intended for those who wish to increase the attendance rate of their own Web sites (or their own advertisement within the site Info Adriatic) by that aimed group.

In other words, You or someone else would get into temptation to create a false image of attendance by clicking on it. Don't fall for the numbers. The only things that You should be interested in are - how many inquiries You had, that is how many reservations You have realized.

[4.16] My apartments are air-conditioned. Why don't they show in the search results according to the criteria "air-conditioned accommodation" in the column Search Box?
It takes a bit of time, estimated in days, that Googlebot (Googlebot is the Google's Web-crawling robot) restores its data base for the whole Web.

However, when exactly, under which criteria and which contents the next update of the data base will include, we do not know. (More: 5.10).

[4.19] On what grounds is the accommodation at the end of each destination lined up? Can I do something about the position?
The person who registered first is on the top of the list, the one who registered last is placed on the bottom of the list. The one who doesn't pay within the following seven days since the moment of the presentation's expiry is automatically excluded from the list. With the renewed inclusion (which is a free of charge service) comes on the bottom of the list. With this procedure we stimulate regular advertisement and payment, which are the pre-condition of the successful marketing and business.

[4.20] Will you notify me about the expiry of yearly advertisement?
Sure. Around two weeks before the expiry of the yearly advertisement You will receive the registered letter in which we will notify You about the date of the advertisement expiry.

Considering photos, You can, but we have to see their authenticity at first hand. Along with them, they have to satisfy our standards with the content, dimensions and quality. You are also obliged to take care of the copyright of the photos that You send, while the price of advertisement is not lessened. If You wish to make the description Yourself, the content of the text has to satisfy our standards. Superlatives, exclamation forms and similar things are not accepted.

We retain the right to choose photos and correct texts.

[4.23] How will I know that a guest's inquiry has arrived through the site Info Adriatic?
If You have an e-mail address and a visitor has sent You the inquiry using the form that is placed at the end of Your presentation, in the same inquiry it will be written that it has arrived through the site Info Adriatic. If a guest sends You an e-mail without the mentioned form (e.g. through Your Web site on which he/she arrived with the help of the site Info Adriatic) or if he/she addresses You via fax or phone, You will find whether he/she contacted You through the site Info Adriatic by simply asking him/her.

[4.24] Can I send myself an inquiry from the page where my accommodation is advertised?
Of course. We recommend doing that, so that You can witness the proper operation of the system. (More: 5.8).

[4.25] When I get a guest's inquiry, in the field "To" my e-mail and your e-mail are written. What does that mean?
It means that a copy of the inquiry has been sent to our address. We do that for safety reason: avoiding Spam, insight into the site abuse and for archiving. Each continuation of the correspondence between You and a guest is no longer done through the form on the site Info Adriatic and doesn't enter our archive.

[4.26] Does Info Adriatic have an insight into the advertisers' business?
Absolutely no.

[4.27] I want to advertise. What is the following procedure?
After calling the company Sprait d.o.o. (contact data can be found in the column About Us) we arrange to meet. Then our worker takes the photos with You and fills in a form of the data. That completes Your part of the work and we still have to make the description of the accommodation, translate it, process the photos, fill in the data and publish all that on the pages Info Adriatic. The payment is done within seven days from the moment of the publishing.

[5] Technical problems

[5.1] Why can't I use the Croatian diacritics?
In Your browser You choose View>Encoding and shut down Auto-select. If the problem still exists, (or Auto-select has already been shut down), try choosing Central European (Windows) or Central European (ISO) and click Refresh.

[5.2] Why don't English, Italian and German language have Croatian diacritics?
Because the above mentioned languages use Code page conversion table (charset) ISO-8859-1, while Croatian language uses ISO-8859-2, so there are usually problems in the presentation of their characteristic letters, if wished to be combined. To avoid these troubles, we have decided to write English, German and Italian consistently with their Code page conversion table and keyboard - without Croatian diacritics. However, if You find some name or title and You wish to know how it is written originally, visit the Croatian version of the same page. The easiest way to do that is to add subdirectory /hrvatska in the Address Bar of Your browser (if You use English) or /croazia, that is /kroatien (if You use Italian, that is German language), while the rest of the address remains the same. For example on the address: http://www.infoadriatic.com/did_you_know_04.shtml#4.1 You can find out who famous native of Sibenik are (on English), while on the address: http://www.infoadriatic.com/hrvatska/did_you_know_04.shtml#4.1 You can find how their names are originally written (on Croatian language).

[5.3] Why doesn't Message Box in the right column function?
Message Box uses advanced functions of the browser. In order to use it without any problems, You should do the up-date of Your browser. The users of Internet Explorer can do it here. All the other things on the site Info Adriatic should function faultlessly even on the older versions of the browser.

[5.4] Why does the header show incorrect date (and day)?
Because it is the system date (and day) of Your computer and it is not adjusted. Choose Start>Settings>Control Panel>Date/Time and adjust Your date (and day).

[5.5] Why don't the photos in the renters' list have larger dimensions?
Because it isn't the place where the photos should and could be with bigger dimensions.

[5.6] Why don't the photos in the accommodation's presentation have larger dimensions?
We hope that You know that clicking on the smaller photo You get the same photo with larger dimensions. And the last one isn't larger because further enlargement doesn't have any information value, it only extends the loading time.

[5.7] Why isn't better using Javascript instead of target="_blank" for opening larger photos in the accommodations' descriptions?
Maybe it is more beautiful, but surely not better. Well, it is known that firewall and anti-pop protection have been more and more used, which often blocks Javascript. During the preparation of the site Info Adriatic we always went for safer version (instead of more beautiful) and that is why we have decided to show larger photos in the way that is understood by every computer on the world.

[5.8] I use antispam protection. Can a guest's inquiry be treated as a spam and because of that I don't receive the inquiry?
Unfortunately, the situation that You have stated is known to all those that use antispam protection. Antispam protection can mark a harmless message as a spam, and then, depending on how You defined Your precepts, erase it from the server or send it to You with a sign [SPAM]. To make it more clear, this is not a problem of Info Adriatic, but of the antispam protection that You have been using and it is very complex. We advise You to be caution while choosing and using the antispam protection.

[5.8.1] What is better - to use or not to use antispam protection?
You should decide on the best solution for You. If You receive a lot of spam, You should use the antispam protection. If the spam is a rarity to You, You don't need the antispam protection.

[5.8.2] Why does the antispam protection sometimes treats a useful message as a spam?
There are many reasons for it and no one can answer You on this question with complete certainty. In order to make the traffic of always new forms and techniques of spam sending, the manufacturers of antispam protection use heuristic algorithm of spam detection. Unfortunately, one of four results of this detection can be "false positive" and that is the reason why the tender of security protection cannot guarantee not to treat a useful message as a spam. E.g. some message is sent by Perl script across a domain of high risk and its complete title is written in capital letters. Such message can be marked as [SPAM], without actually being one.

[5.8.3] Can I adjust the antispam protection not to treat the guests' inquiries as spam?
There are more types of antispam protection, of different effect and quality. Almost all of them have so called "White lists" in which You can define domains and addresses of those senders whose message You would always like to get (even if it is a spam). In the case of the guests' inquiries, the technique of "White lists" is not possible because You don't know from where the following inquiry will arrive. However, what you can do is to decrease the sensitivity of antispam protection (if a protection offers something like that) or adjust that spam are not erased on the server, but You Yourself control all the messages with the sign [SPAM] and erase them on Your computer (which we recommend at least until You convince Yourself in the proper operation of the antispam protection). You can also turn off Your antispam protection.

[5.8.4] How will I know if some of the messages with the sign [SPAM] is maybe a guest's inquiry?
You can know it by its subject. The inquiry realized through the pages of Info Adriatic will have a subject [Info Adriatic Mailer]. To make the procedure more automatic, You can use the so called rules in the Outlook Express (Message>Create Rule From Message...) according to which the messages will automatically be sent to defined folders. The rules can be defined according to the mentioned subject that is Subject line.

[5.9] I have received the weird message. I think it is from your address and there is a virus in the Attachment. Am I right?
No. The inquiries that arrive through the site Info Adriatic don't contain Attachment! If You receive a message that is similar to the guest' inquiry by its content (e.g. subject), and has an Attachment in itself, be very careful, because it is the most probably sent from a contained computer. Also, if You receive a "weird" message that looks like being sent from our address, be very careful, because it is probably sent from a contained computer. On these and similar messages don't respond, but ignore them or report them to the abuse service of Your ISP. On the other hand, if You really receive a message from us, it will not be "weird". Our message will have clear information, contact data and possible cancelling of the registration to our mailing list.

[6] Diverse, but important

[6.1] Is it allowed to transfer the contents published on the pages Info Adriatic?
No. We write more about it in the column Copyright.

[6.2] Is there a printed version of the site Info Adriatic?
No.

[6.3] What do the bars along the destination title in the left column?
They graphically show the number of published accommodation capacities in the particular destination.

[6.4] What do the colours and symbols mark on the map, on the front page?
The grey colour mark land, dark grey borders and the Sibenik-Knin County, blue rivers, green National Parks and red one road. There are three types of thickness of red lines. The thin one marks state road (e.g. road Drnis-Knin is a state road No. 33). Thicker line marks main roads (e.g. the Adriatic highway is the state road No. 8 or E65). The thickest red line marks highways, the traffic that is charged (e.g. A1 is a highway). Regional and local roads are not marked on this map. The other symbols are orientation. They direct You two airports, sea full of fish, numerous marinas and possibility of walks and mountain climbing in the hinterland.

[6.5] I'm interested in the link exchange. What is the procedure?
If Your site deals with the tourism or travels (in the largest sense of this notion), if Your attendance rate is bigger or equal to ours, if Your Homepage has bigger or equal PageRank to ours (PageRank is the Google's measure of the importance of page), we will gladly exchange links with You. Send us Your Web address and the site's description on one of the languages we support and we will translate it on other languages. You have to be objective and realistic; write down what the site consists of, and not what it should consist of. Try writing down a sentence instead of listing, maximum length of 140 characters. We reserve the right to refuse the proposition for links exchange, as well as the right to correct a text. The link will be put into the column Links exchange. We also expect a short specification of Your conditions, that is the offer for links exchange.

[6.6] Can Info Adriatic cooperate with tourist agencies?
Info Adriatic is specialized in the Sibenik-Knin County and it works on the basis of a direct contact between a guest and a renter and it retains the right on the published material. These are the reasons why the possibility of cooperation with other sites and tourist agencies is very limited.

[6.7] Does Info Adriatic look for co-operators, translators, commercialists?
In this moment we don't look for translators, but we will gladly show the work insight to those commercialists who wish to join our "field team".

[6.8] I wish to send you an Attachment. Which is your e-mail?
For safety reasons, we don't accept Attachments from unknown sources nor do we publish publicly an e-mail. We kindly ask You to tell us more about what and why You want to send it, by using the column Contact Us. If the documents exchange proves to be necessary, we will make a contact afterwards without the mentioned column.
